This egregious and it needs to be called out, enough is enough seriously! This is one of many examples of Angel Reese getting HACKED and not getting the whistle/foul call! There is absolutely NO explanation for this, it’s clearly a foul‼️

Tonight, I gave Notice of Intent to bring forth a Privileged Resolution to force a vote on releasing the names of Congressmen who used taxpayer funds for sexual misconduct settlements.
The Speaker has two legislative days to consider the timing of the vote. Stay tuned.
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
On the tour of North Baton Rouge this week, we stopped in Ghost Town to see a house redevelopment project being led by @taneshia.flowers.
A few years ago, Taneshia called me about the challenges she was facing trying to acquire a house across the street from her grandmother. I told her she needed to take her issue directly to Mayor Broome because many of the people she was dealing with simply didn’t have the authority to help. She got the meeting, and the result was her being able to acquire the property.
I wanted to highlight Taneshia’s project because it shows what’s possible when government works with people instead of creating obstacles. It also serves as an example for this administration of how cutting red tape can help move communities forward.
Last year, Taneshia called me again after some kids in her neighborhood got into trouble for jumping a fence to swim in a BREC pool. I reached out to people whose organizations receive funding to serve that community. One response I got was, “You expect me to knock on their door?” My answer was simple: yes.
Those young people needed resources, guidance, and engagement—not arrests. It’s important people know that community members were actively trying to help those kids before things escalated.
A tour with me is never a fluff session. I’m not under contract with the Mayor’s Office or anyone else to do this. I agreed to do this tour because I’ve spent more than a decade pushing for investment in North Baton Rouge. No matter who occupies City Hall, I’m going to advocate for taxpayers in North Baton Rouge to receive the investment and opportunities we deserve.
The question for Mayor Edwards is whether his administration can execute and improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods we toured. Time will tell.
I show up because I care about my people and my community in every season. This is what consistency looks like. No matter who’s in power, I’m going to push for North Baton Rouge while highlighting both what has been done and what is still possible.
Doing my part.

Damn, Bruce Riley brought the facts; it’s painfully clear that the Louisiana Legislature didn’t do its homework when creating this bill, SB121. The man is right—SCOTUS said they can’t consider race when redistricting—but how did all the new districts end up with a majority of white voters? #DemsUnited
Respectability politics has never worked for Black people — and it never will with people who don’t respect you to begin with.
For years I’ve been told to change my approach. Today I challenge those in leadership to consider that the approach they’ve been using got our s*** stolen.
The strategy now has to be to take something back from them — power.
I’ve been doing this work for over a decade. Folks didn’t partner with me or support me when I ran because I was considered “radical” — as if demanding equity is radical.
It’s time for a different approach. A different posture. One with some fight in it. I’m leaning in regardless — I’m just wondering how many of us are ready now.

The 119th Congress has more Black members than at any point in American history.
Louisiana Rep. Cleo Fields says, “It's progress. But it's not progress for Louisiana. There are people who, in this state and others, just will not vote for a Black person for anything.” https://t.co/LmTXS2LeQw
Let the record show that Louisiana had some Black men who spoke truth to power.
Let the record show that Republicans in the Louisiana Senate are not leaders. They are a reflection of some of the worst parts of America, and history will remember them in 4K.
Next week, this committee will vote on Louisiana’s congressional maps. Anything less than two Black seats is theft. They have already begun taking seats of power from us, so we need to begin the work of taking seats from them.
If you agree with me, use your voice. Start showing up. Tell your friends what’s happening. Make it a priority.
This isn’t a drill. We aren’t being alarmist. The shit has hit the fan, and it’s on us now. Click the link in my bio to support Civics for the People. We aren’t just going to talk about it — we’re going to educate, organize, and mobilize the people.
Don’t ever get it twisted: nobody takes anything from you that isn’t valuable.
